There are two major paths to getting an Aegislash in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, with an early and late-game option depending on where you are in the main story.

Wild Zone 4 is available very early in your playthrough and is one of the creepiest Wild Zones in the game. To make things even more eerie, you'll need to head to this cemetery at night to encounter a Honedge.

The Lysandre Cafe is only available toward the end of your Z-A adventure, but it's an area worth farming for rare shinies like Beldum. While you're exploring the purple room on the north side of the map, you'll come across multiple Honedge or Duoblade spawns.

If you're starting with a Honedge and doing things the old-fashioned way, you need to first power up your Honedge to level 35, which will allow you to evolve it into Duoblade. However, getting a Duoblade is just the first part of your task.

To evolve your Duoblade into Aegislash, you first need to acquire a Dusk Stone. The Stone Emporium on Vernal Avenue on the south side of Lumiose City is the easiest place to get a Dusk Stone quickly, as it can be purchased for 3,000 Pokedollars along with several other evolutionary stones.

Evolving your Duoblade into Aegislash in Pokemon Legends: Z-A is also the only way to teach it King Shield, Aegislash's signature move that allows it to switch back into Shield Forme after attacking.
